Biscuits From The Frying Pan Its Quick Time Recipes

SKILLET BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cut in shortening or butter.
• Add and lightly mix buttermilk.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute.
• Pat the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• Cut with a biscuit cutter (or knife, depending on what shape you like).
• If you want to bake the biscuits, bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
• For skillet biscuits:.
• Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
• Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
• As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
• The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.

EASY PAN BUTTER BISCUITS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Slice the butter into a couple of thin slices and spread in the bottom of an 8x8" baking dish.
• Place the butter in the baking dish into the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Carefully pour in the buttermilk, mixing until the flour mixture is just moistened (be careful not to overmix!).
• Remove melted butter pan from the oven.
• Place the dough in the melted butter pan and spread it evenly in the pan with your fingers. As you spread the dough out to the corners, the butter will start to surround the dough and flow on top of the dough (which is what you want!).
• Cut the dough into 9 equal squares (you don't have to do this step, but it makes it easier to pull apart later and allows the butter to soak into all the edges of each piece).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes (start checking at 20 minutes) or until the biscuits are golden brown.
• Serve hot with honey butter or your favorite toppings.
